This page explains the limits of what NextTechBlog publishes and how our commercial relationships work. It applies to everything on nexttechblog.com, including articles, reviews and newsletters.
General information only
Everything on NextTechBlog is published for general information and education. It is written for a broad international readership and takes no account of your particular situation, equipment, budget or risk tolerance. Nothing here substitutes for professional advice, vendor documentation, or your own testing. Decisions you make after reading an article are your decisions, made at your own risk.
Accuracy and timeliness
Technology moves faster than publishing schedules. We research from primary sources and verify what we can, but specifications change, prices move, firmware updates alter behaviour, and security situations develop by the hour.
An article is accurate to the best of our knowledge when published. We date-stamp volatile facts so you can judge how stale a figure may be, and we update important articles when we can, but we do not guarantee that any page reflects the current state of the world at the moment you read it. Always check the vendor’s own documentation before acting on a technical detail.
Not professional advice
NextTechBlog does not provide legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting, medical, or professional security-consulting advice, and nothing on this site should be treated as any of those things.
- Not financial or investment advice. We write about publicly traded companies. Coverage of a company, chip or market is analysis, never a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security. Speak to a licensed adviser.
- Not legal advice. Our coverage of regulation, privacy law, copyright and AI policy describes rules in general terms and may be incomplete or out of date for your jurisdiction. Consult a qualified lawyer.
- Not security consulting. Articles on vulnerabilities, hardening and incident response are general explanation, not an assessment of your systems. Engage a qualified professional.
- Not medical advice. Where we cover health-adjacent devices or biotech, we are describing technology, not offering clinical guidance. Speak to a healthcare professional.
External links
We link out constantly, because sourcing our claims requires it. Those links go to sites we do not own or control. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, security or privacy practices of any third-party site, and a link is not an endorsement of the linked organisation. Third-party sites have their own terms and privacy policies, which govern your use of them. If a link is broken or now points somewhere unrelated, tell us at [email protected].
Advertising and affiliate disclosure
NextTechBlog is funded by advertising and affiliate commissions. We disclose this because it is honest, and because disclosure of material connections is expected under the FTC’s Endorsement Guides in the United States and the deceptive marketing provisions of the Competition Act enforced by the Competition Bureau in Canada.
How affiliate links work. Some links to retailers carry a tracking code identifying NextTechBlog as the referrer. If you click one and buy something, the retailer may pay us a small commission. You pay nothing extra — the price is the same as going to the retailer directly. We do not see your payment details, and the retailer does not tell us who you are.
What affiliate links do not do. Commission rates play no part in what we recommend. We do not rank a product higher because it pays better, we do not soften a review of a product we can earn on, and where a better product is not available through any affiliate programme we still say it is better and link to it.
Display advertising. Ads here are supplied and selected by third-party networks, not by our editors, so an ad beside an article implies no connection between the two. Paid and sponsored links carry the rel=”sponsored” or rel=”nofollow” attribute, as Google’s outbound link guidance requires.
Sponsored content, if it runs, is labelled as sponsored at the top of the page. Buying advertising does not buy favourable coverage, advance sight of articles, or the removal of anything already published. See Advertise With Us for the full rules.
Product reviews and testing
We sometimes receive review units on loan, and when we do we say so in the article. Loaned hardware is returned when the review is finished; where a unit is not returnable, we disclose that too. A review unit buys the manufacturer nothing beyond the chance to be reviewed, and no manufacturer sees or edits a review before publication.
Our testing is honest but done with the resources of a small independent publication, not a certified laboratory. Results reflect the sample we were sent, the firmware current at the time and our own conditions; your unit may perform differently. Where a result is a single measurement rather than an average, we say so rather than implying more rigour than we applied.
No warranties
This site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy or completeness. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this paragraph may not apply to you.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, NextTechBlog and its writers, editors and contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, anything published here — including lost profits, lost data, business interruption, hardware damage or security incidents. This applies whether the claim is in contract, tort, negligence or otherwise. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it is limited to the minimum permitted.
Errors and omissions
We make mistakes. When we find one, or a reader points one out, we correct it, mark the correction and note the date, as described in our Editorial Policy. We do not silently delete errors.
To report one, email [email protected] with the article URL, the exact sentence at issue, and a source showing the correct information. We respond within five business days, and we are grateful for these emails, including blunt ones.
Views expressed
Opinions, analysis and verdicts published here are those of the individual author at the time of writing. They do not necessarily represent the views of NextTechBlog as a whole, of other contributors, or of any author’s employer or clients. Reader comments are the responsibility of whoever wrote them and are not endorsed by us.
Not legal advice
This Disclaimer is provided for general information and is a template. It is not legal advice, and reading it creates no solicitor-client relationship. Laws differ by jurisdiction and change over time. If you operate a website, have a qualified lawyer in your own jurisdiction review this document before relying on anything like it.
Governing law and contact
This Disclaimer is governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
